RICHMOND, Ky. — Eastern Kentucky announced on Wednesday it has extended the contract of head basketball coach A.W. Hamilton. He's now signed through the 2024-'25 season.
“As we transition into the ASUN, we want to ensure that Coach Hamilton is leading our program," said Vice President and Director of Athletics Matt Roan.

Heading into year four with our style and brand planted firmly here in Richmond, we look to capitalize on the momentum we have created and continue to represent EKU the right way on and off the floor."
“My wife Chelsea and I are thrilled to continue to raise our family in the beautiful town of Richmond. With the perfect blend of city and country life, we both know there is no better place to coach and live than right here with Kentucky’s finest.”
